Happy Holidays!

Holiday DIY

With Christmas only a few DAYS away, it's crunch time! So in addition to our very handy Holiday Gourmet To-Go Menu we're also helping you out with a quick decor DIY for your holidays!
This  little center piece is very simple and quick. All you'll need is a cylinder vase, we got ours from the dollar tree, a little burlap, ribbon, and some holiday greens!

1. First you'll cut your burlap to size. You'll want it to be wide enough to overlap, so you can glue the material to itself. Place the burlap around the vase and glue it to itself. The length can be trimmed after it's adhered to the vase for the correct size. 

    2.  Now That you have your burlap covered vase, you can embellish it with ribbon! Simple enough, you just choose ribbon in whatever colors and textures you'd like.  Make sure to line up the seams of the ribbon with the seams on the of the burlap so everything is neat. 

3. You can then add fresh greens, branches from your yard, or even a candle, and voila you have some holiday decor in 20 minutes or less!

Holidays at The Mansion

If you were to imagine throwing the perfect holiday party, wouldn't you want it to be at a historic 1920's mansion?

 That's what we thought. 

 For company holiday parties, or even large families, choosing the right venue for your event can be difficult. When it comes to the holidays we all long for the warmth of familiar faces and a sense of home.

The Office Party

Holiday parties are a work place tradition that every one looks forward to all year long. Constantly satirized in sitcoms as the party where everyone gets a little crazy sometimes that's exactly what we need at work after a long year of sales, and meetings!

Many companies large and small choose to host their annual holiday party at the office. This party choice is usually a bit more on the casual side of things with cocktails and appetizers. This party style opens up the party to communicating between all of your co workers instead of having a more formal affair where guests sit with the same group all night.

Christmas in July

It's July! and amidst this sweltering heat we're dreaming about the days of wearing sweaters. So we're celebrating Christmas in July with festive themed parties, holiday sound tracks, and (frozen) hot chocolate! If you too cant wait until December consider throwing your own Christmas in July party. It's actually much easier than hosting Christmas in December, much less pressure, and no gift exchange required. It can be even more fun and games by implementing an "Ugly Sweater" theme or providing all of your guests with Santa hats or reindeer antlers to wear. And if you're not quite ready to climb into the attic and unpack those boxes of decorations, it's the perfect time to buy decor at a discounted rate. There's always the great holiday section on Etsy with loads of items for parties, like these great printable invitations we found.

And it's a great time to visit your local goodwill. Goodwill's are full of seasonal decor right now and even better the cost will go to good cause which gives us even more of that holiday spirit we yearn for. 

Another great reason for Christmas in July? Getting to eat holiday food of course!

 We'll be making turkey and cranberry sauce (which means day after sandwiches as well!) with garlic mashed potatoes and candied yams for miles. And let's not forget about those fabulous seasonal cocktails we all love. Try eggnog on the rocks or our Candy Cane-tini.

Now all you need is a yule log and you're set!

And yes we will make them in july ;)

And for everyone who's not quite ready to celebrate, it's never too early to start planning your holiday party in the actual holiday season! We're offering 10% off your food and beverage plus a complimentary event upgrade if you book before September 1st.
